This morning I did research on churches in Dothan and Phenix City, AL.

Made my reservations for our flight to Texas. It’s important for me to spend as much time as I can with my Folks. Flying will save us four full days. Of really long driving.

Met up with Ashley and Penelope in Clarkston. Then drove to FBCD to meet up with our new friends Richard and Karen Barnard from Glennville, GA.
We took them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market and CDTOWER. Penelope liked the Albani cookies from Turkey the best.

They’ll be bringing a team Summer of 2017.

We had some time after they left, so we went to Goodwill to shop for clothes. Ashley and the baby both got some really cute stuff. The Goodwill by Perimeter Mall is pretty nice.
Like Mother, like Daughter.
After shopping, Penelope prefers a large cup of black coffee.

Went to the mission to work with the kids. They didn’t have much to do.

I organized the rubber stamps I have.
Watched some of Assassin with K. She mainly slept.

Nearly 3/4″ of rain yesterday. THANK YOU, Lord!
Today will be even more, I hope.

This morning I recorded. Yeah, baby!
Love this one: Verbal Surgery -415- “Baby Cage.” Just click on the title and GROOVE!

What limits you? ESCAPE those limits! Simple ideas. Profound change.

Worked on the Research List. Studied Burlington, NC and Anniston, AL.
Had lunch with all my girls. After eating, we came back home to put the finishing touches on the board report. I love working with Ashley. She’s a go getter!

Worked with the kids at the mission. They helped me get the newsletters ready to mail.
Letters were a little late this month. But the free printing makes it worth an occasional tardiness. In the mail stream.

Ashley and I hosted our Board Meeting at our office at FBC Doraville.

We are lucky to have some talented people on our board! I will always have great love for them for their service to our families.

Dropped Ashley off at her house. Then came home to work on Admin duties.

This morning, Ashley, Penelope and I went to meet with a group of Youth Directors on the Southside of Atlanta.

Ash and I made a short presentation about our ministry to the group. Two of them had worked with us before and made us sound awesome!

I worked on the Research List this afternoon. Did Concord, NC.

Picked up Ashley in Clarkston and went to Azalea to work with the kids.

Fantastic to have the ONEderful Baby with us today at the mission. Pray that her teeth will come in and she will feel better!

I had my 23rd viewing of the International Space Station this evening! It was visible for about five minutes. It came overhead about 5:50pm. So I got to show the kids the ISS as it streaked across the sky.

I used my SkyView app.
With this app and NASA’s alerts when it’s possible to “Spot the Station,” it’s pretty easy to do.

It’s the largest man made object in space. It cost over 150 BILLION dollars to build. AT that price tag, it’s also the most expensive thing that man has ever built.

It travels at 17,150 mph. That’s 5 mps. That’s Miles Per SECOND.

We met up with Jesse at Taco Veloz and enjoyed supper with him.

I got an Amazon Dot this afternoon. It’s a cool device. It’s connected with the cloud and Amazon’s AI, which is super powerful. Jesse has had a device like this for at least a year. My Dot is about the side of a 1″ thick coaster for your drink. I wouldn’t set a drink on it!

I remember the joke about the lady who called customer service concerned that her computer did not have a CD-Rom drive. (You can tell this joke has been around!) He told her to push the button beneath the power button. To which the lady replied, “Oh, I thought that’s what held my coffee cup.” And, rimshot.

K rode her bike around the mountain, so she went to bed early.

Admin duties now.

One of the wacky things I saw while I surfed hundreds of church websites.
